Mrs. Arkin was the mother of Greg Arkin. She was in the garden club with Lana Lang's aunt, Nell Potter.
Season One[]
According to Martha Kent, Mrs. Arkin kept a pretty tight leash on Greg. She gave him a hard time about spying on Lana Lang. She threatened to send him to a military academy. Greg killed her in the house after acquiring insect-like characteristics and explaining that the pharaoh spider eats its mother after it hatches.
